  • Borderlands The Pre Sequel came out 5 years ago. Is the Pre Sequel good? And is it worth playing now that Borderlands 3 got announced? Is Borderlands The Handsome Collection worth it?

    Why did the pre sequel get so much flak? Yeah it was kind of short but seeing Jack's slow descent into madness, finding out why the Claptraps where all destroyed, and really just tieing everything together between 1 and 2 was great to not only see, but get to play. And the bullshit excuse of "oh, its just more borderlands 2". In what universe is that a bad thing?

    • @SSlash
      @SSlash Před 5 lety +11

      Gaza Shotshell I think it gets flak because it’s much easier and lacked end game content and replay ability in comparison to 2 alongside having its dlc canceled and while using the same engine, you think it’d be easier to expand on it and make a better game but it was something that was made in 2 years so I mean, it’s good if you give credit where it’s due but could’ve been better

    • @SympatheticMonster
      @SympatheticMonster Před 5 lety +8

      I found it boring and annoying. Bar the playable characters and the context it was set in, the game was mostly forgettable imo. No end game, lackluster content, unimaginative environments, etc. etc. I didn't think it'd be possible to mess up BL game for me, yet I couldn't help but look forward to finishing it and not touching it again sigh.
      Also that annoying kid was a nightmare to deal with.

      From what I’ve heard, it was 2k Australia that shut down/something bad happened that stopped further publishing of dlcs. I can guarantee you the fact they had to put uvhm with claptastic voyage together was due to the knowledge that 2k Australia shutting down and wanting to push some content further. It’s pretty sad, I am sure gearbox already planned the next 2 dlcs after luxy’s space adventure already and have other content on their scrapbook. It’s just too bad I guess. Let’s hope the mystery dlc for both bl2 and bltps will be a good one

      Remember, nothing is confirmed until official, take it with a grain of salt like I had. Initially, was rather skeptical of supmatto as he may be just providing fake news. After bl3 release and many thing s confirmed by him, he is certainly pretty trustworthy for now

    People don't realize 2k Australia had a much smaller team than borderlands 2, and a much smaller budget. I think they did great with what they had. There was stuff hidden all over the place if you actually hunted for it. Secret bosses, a hidden monolith, to name a few. I should add, gearbox themselves was heavily involved in the development of claptrap's voyage. Look it up. I think they did like %80 of the entire thing.

    Personally
    While Two is a better overall game, I found myself more invested in Pre-Sequel's story. From Jack's Downfall to our betrayal of Felicity and even Zapadeon's men's dying words. The gravity mechanic was also fun. Guess endgames really the biggest problem. In the end, a decent title worthy of the name. Will definitely revisit now that the hype trains rolling...

The enemy mobs I really wasnt invested in or familiar with. Borderlands 2 makes sure you know about skags and bullymongs where the presequal I find that I just kill a mob and dont know what it is or just run past them.
      I really enjoyed being on jacks side and listening to him throughout the story. I really do think the moon was the biggest thing I disliked about the game.

  • @christophercollins3632
    @christophercollins3632 Před 4 lety +30

    BLTPS is my favorite. The skill trees were filled with action, not just buffs. The Low gravity environments are a joy to jump traverse, tons of verticality, it makes ground based FPS seem stale. The Slam Mechanic is a blast, and makes close combat scenarios enjoyable, instead of the typical “shooting gallery” from behind cover. I was skeptical about Laser weapon’s, but they’re as diverse as normal weapons (certainly more than the video described). The vacuum/atmosphere changing areas is really interesting, requires different techniques, and even the sound changes. There isn’t as strong a focus on Fire/flesh, corrosive/armor mechanics, due in part to fire not creating DoTs in a vacuum. Cryo is infinitely better than Slag as the damage boosting element; it does it’s own thing, freezing, and isn’t required for UVHM. (I hate BL2 UVHM; I don’t like having to methodically apply a slag DoT on nearly every enemy, constantly swapping weapons. One of my least favorite mechanics ever). The Stingray hovervehicle is a blast, highly intuitive, extra verticality and exploration, and does slam attacks too. The Oz kits are fun, and can really shape a playstyle, especially utilizing low gravity. The Grinder makes having purples equipped far more likely, and the extra luneshine effects can really make a gun far better and unique. I disagree that the environments aren’t varied; they are, and look great. I also like the game’s length. It doesn’t wear out its welcome. The DLC’s are mostly great; the holodome isn’t robust, but the Claptastic voyage more than makes up for it. The late game could use more, but the planned DLC was scrapped, unfortunately.

    1. The quarantine mission and its proceeding side quests

    Completely underrated imo. All 6 characters are way more interesting and diversely designed than in bl2 and 1, it has the best Borderlands DLC ever and no fucking Slag. Gameplay wise TPS is my favourite BL game, it's a shame that it lacks endgame, but in the end it was never supposed to be as big as BL2. I hope if at some point Gearbox truly remasters BL2 they somehow manage to integrate Lasers, Cryo and the TPS classes into BL2, I can't imagine that this would be that difficult to do, I would love to do BL2 endgame with the way superior TPS classes.

      @Despacito 2 i just finished the game yesterday on ps4 pro, i would say 99% of the time it holds a solid 60 fps, there was only a couple noticeable drops in frames especially on the Research and Development level, but yeah other than that the game runs really well

    • @RonanAquilius
      @RonanAquilius Před 5 lety

      @Despacito 2 maybe, but yours will be running at a lower resolution so that will more or less compensate for the lesser hardware giving you the same framerate as mine if you're lucky.
      edit: the game runs at a native 4k resolution on ps4pro

I recently replayed BL2 and realized the story isn't nearly as good as I thought it was back in the day.

    I loved the combat in the Pre-Sequal. The original two games don't really change much in basic ground based combat but the increased verticality of movement during combat coupled with the better loot drops resulting in more variety in fun weapons and really great class skills and skill trees that had a much bigger impact. The O2 meter adds an added element to world building and gameplay. The game really should have succeeded more in sales, the game had a boycott at the time with anti-SJW feelings against the writers and it really wasn't justified when the result was no more DLC, a dead studio and no Borderlands games for the next 5 years, instead we got Battleborn which was dead on arrival.

    When you look back at all the recent Loot shooter games that have come out since BL the pre sequel it’s safe to say that this game is definitely decent in comparison to Anthem, Destiny and the Division.
    Yeah, 2K Australia was the probably comprised of the B-team so there were definitely certain aspects of the game that don’t hold up when compared to BL1 or 2 but they still managed to do a decent good with what they were given and the Formula that makes Borderlands games fun is still there.

    I don’t know where I’m at storywise, but so far I can say that it’s not THAT bad, though it has way to many enemies. Like, get the quest while fighting 20+ enemies, get to first square quest marker while fighting 20+ enemies, go to second…, go to quest giver to turn quest in while fighting…
    In between you have to travel, simetimes through the whole map to get to the next objective fighting the same enemies again and again. Kinda tedious. Admittedly you don’t HAVE to kill then, but the amount of enemies sometimes makes it difficult to pass them.
    I play as claptrap, maybe that makes things even harder. Have to play other chars yet.

    This game were the final game that was published by 2K Australia before the company were shut down 6 months later.
    In my opinion, and I guess everyone will disagree with me on this one, I think both Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel are equally great!
    Sure it can be annoying with the gravity where a loot can sometimes (on drop) flies miles away from you and falls down on instant death pit, but it introduced new playable characters, new mechanics (like cryo element) and OZ-kits. And also tells the story how Jack rose in power.

      That's where the grind machine system comes in. But yeah, the lack in legendaries from actual drops can be a little annoying but not impossible.

    Why no one has ever mentioned the mobility and the slam mechanic of BLTPS???? Players are not meant to just shoot and hide like traditional FPS. BLTPS takes this even further compared to BL2 with lots of weapons, abilities, slam mechanic, and kill skill/kill unique weapons' ability to encourage players spam slamming more frequently while still has a very good survivability and clearing speed. It makes close-mid range combat more fun compared to BL2.
    Not to mention Oz Kit CAN HAVE CYRO element! Which is very important because Cyro is how your characters are going to deal the most damage. I do personally enjoy BLTPS more than BL2 mainly because of the gameplay elements, and slamming is one of them.
    If someone complain low gravity is bad and they do not do slamming frequently/noticed there are lots of ways to refill oxygen, then they must not be playing properly.

    This is just my opinion, but... ThePreSequelisbetterthanBL2sueme.
    I never payed very much attention to the stories in both games as I was more focused on playing through the game with my friend, so I'm judging this purely based on a gameplay perspective.
    Comparing BL2 to pre-sequel(PS) , i think its shocking how much pre-sequel gets its gameplay, characters and skills right. In PS, I found the playable characters to be far funner and more interesting than what BL2 had to offer. I've played through the game as Aurelia and currently playing through as Claptrap, I would've played through as Jack as well if it were not for my friend already playing him. In my first playthrough I absolutely adored Aurelia and her playstyle and am now falling in love with Claptrap. Their skill trees appeal to me a lot more than literally any BL2 character and their abilities are also leagues funner than any of the BL2 cast (with the exception of maybe Krieg?)
    My fingers hurt from typing so much so ill just leave a TL;DR lmaoo
    TL;DR: Pre-Sequel characters and gameplay is more refined and a lot funner than BL2. Gaining new skills in BL2 felt like a slog and levelling up was a nightmare. Characters in BL2 were either entirely boring (Gunzerker- I thought dual-wielding would be fun...) or had kinda crappy abilities (Maya's ability just holds one guy up? gurl what). Only character I liked was Gaige and she still had some issues. This is all my opinion though ;(((
